This was the week in pro football when we discovered, thanks to Frank Gifford’s family, that one of the great Giants of all, a giant of his sport and later television, was suffering from CTE at the time of his death.
This was a week that really began in pro football with us witnessing Case Keenum of the Rams looking like a fighter gamely trying to beat a 10-count after getting knocked down, obviously (brain) wounded after a hit that snapped his head back to the turf, but still being allowed to continue playing.
